EMU Center for Jewish Studies Presents A 
Conversation with Rep. Elissa Slotkin

The Eastern Michigan 
University Center for 
Jewish Studies will 
host Rep. Elissa Slotkin 
of Michigan’s 8th 
Congressional District, 
on its campus, Thursday, 
Oct. 14, 7:30 p.m. in the 
EMU Student Center 
Auditorium and on Zoom 
at tinyurl.com/RepSlotkin.
Slotkin will discuss, among 
other things, growing up Jewish 
on a farm in Holly, working as 
a CIA analyst who did three 
tours in Iraq alongside the U.S. 
military and serving in the U.S. 
House. Slotkin is a member 
of the House Committee on 
Homeland Security — where 
she chairs the Subcommittee 
on Counterterrorism and 
Intelligence — and the House 
Committee on Armed Services. 
She will consider such matters 
as the resurgence of antisemitism 

in the 21st century (both 
in the U.S. and abroad), 
America’s involvement in 
the Middle East and the 
importance of Israel to U.S. 
foreign policy. 
This presentation is the 
first on-campus Center for 
Jewish Studies event since 
the beginning of COVID. 
There will be social distancing, 
and all audience members will be 
required to wear masks. There is 
no cost to attend this program.
You can also watch the con-
versation in real-time, online, but 
registration is required at
tinyurl.com/RepSlotkin.
This presentation is co-spon-
sored by Hillel at Eastern 
Michigan University, The EMU 
College Democrats and the 
Harold Grinspoon Foundation.
